PRISTINA… TO THE BIKE

PRISTINA TO THE BIKE...It all started with the fact that we are a young childless family bought two “Kama” and became interested in Cycling. With the birth of his daughter had to solve the task: how to travel together? Did a little chair, and set it on the rear trunk. It has served us faithfully for several years But the daughter grew up, and sit in the car seat she was cramped, uncomfortable, the idea of creation of easy folding, durable enough trailer stroller, quickly attachable to the bike.

THE COMPRESSOR FROM THE FRIDGE

THE COMPRESSOR FROM THE FRIDGE

Dostoinstvo spray gun is known: it provides high-quality coverage. In addition, to achieve smooth transitions from one color or tone into another is possible only by spraying. And for that you must have in a home workshop air compressor. It will not idle and after apartment, and will be useful for inflating chambers of the bike and car, spray fertilizers on the garden soil.
Not necessarily the purchase. I read once in the “Modeller-designer”, because of the refrigeration unit, overage, you can make compressor. It said on the construction of serviceable electric motor. I also got burnt. So had to settle for a piston mechanism. To remove it, cut the casing in two places with a hacksaw. Then by unscrewing the four mounting bolts, removed one side of the stator and the pump rotor. Because the rotor is no longer needed, he was knocked to the crankshaft.

CUT AND WELD THE WATER

CUT AND WELD THE WATER

Device for gas cutting and welding a variety of materials including refractory metals, no agriculture, I think, not hurt. The more compact and completely safe to handle. But where to get one? Yes, and too expensive for many to acquire it.But the proponents of mechanization — lovers to create everything with their hands such a device is certainly there. Perhaps even homemade, made according to the sketches and taking into account the recommendations that have been published in the pages of “Modeller-designer” (No. 7 of 1980 and No. 10 of 1985).

WINCH: PLOWMAN, KARCZEWSKI AND… MINESWEEPER

WINCH: PLOWMAN, KARCZEWSKI AND MINESWEEPER...

“Harnessed… the winch” — under this title was published in the “Modeller-designer” № 8, 1995, the material on the system that I designed of selectresponse. Not the last role in it plays a towed plow, the design of which proposed to make a very lightweight (less tired during the transfer to the beginning of each furrow). And now I propose readership new variant of the plough-“feathers.” A lot of it is really small — 13.7 kg (excluding handles), plus optional (for a better entry into the soil, cutting and turning layer) and 4.5-kg weighted. From my earlier designs and prototypes, the author of which is G. Odegov from Nizhny Tagil (“modelist-Konstruktor” N9 6, 1990), the proposed design is the presence of a deep notch in the working body, significantly reduces the resistance of the soil, and a number of other technical solutions.

PROLONG THE LIFE OF THE BIKE

EXTEND THE LIFE OF THE BIKEAssociate Professor of the Department “Technology of mechanical engineering” of the Mari state technical University M. L. Popov, having a great experience with Bicycle sport, sent a letter to the editor which described and theoretically substantiated his view on the problem of improving the reliability of the bearing unit of the carriage. Today we publish only constructive and technological proposal of the author. More than 20 years of experience continuous all-weather and all-season operation of my bike model-542 “Sport” issued in 1974, the total mileage of which amounted to about 100 thousand km, as well as analysis diary entries have led to the conclusion that the bottom bracket for reliability is in fourth place after floreina, driven sprocket and drive chain.

“LASONIC” FROM CHEBOKSARY

Double car “Alison-nick-2” specially constructed for movement in urban environments. Therefore, before designing, I have formulated the main requirements that had to meet the future machine: small size, minimal curb weight and high agility combined with good stability on the road. Having some experience in the construction of all-terrain vehicle (“modelist-Konstruktor” No. 10, 1996) on the basis of design from Yerevan S. Chopanova, decided to apply it here.

IF YOU NEED A TRUCK

IF YOU WANT A TRUCK“Passenger car” combined with cargo trailer is an extremely convenient vehicle. However, it is not without flaws, which sometimes nullify all its advantages. In particular, significantly reduces the maneuverability of the car and it becomes almost impossible to reverse because the motorists unlike professional drivers a bad maneuver composite vehicles. Low passing “the Zhiguli” or “Zaporozhets” with a massive “tail” at the country and field roads. So, you need a simple and inexpensive malogruzovaja type scooter “Ant”, but with a closed cabin and higher payload. And best of all — based on motorcycle components and assemblies: this will allow you to register it as a cargo motor transport funds. Moreover, motor units are much cheaper car.

STARTS… CARDBOARD

Going into the club “Technical modeling”, we saw a lot of bench models made of paper and cardboard by One of our members suddenly suggested — and in fact the GAK you can build and track racing. Then it will go is available for all thick thick paper or thin cardboard! This material allows to implement all the plans and fantasies in the manufacture of the trace models.

PROPELLER -THE PROPELLER UNIVERSAL

PROPELLER -THE PROPELLER UNIVERSALThe driving force of the engine during the flight of model airplanes, aerovision or aeromobile is the thrust of the propeller. The quality of the workmanship and clarity of the selection of the propulsion depends largely on the General characteristics of the constructed model. It is therefore clear that the design process of the propellers is paid maximum attention. However, the calculation methods of the selection of propellers is highly intricate, time-consuming and not very accurate. Today we recommend a number of well-established screws, already tested on a mass micro-motors internal combustion.

NEW LIFE COMET

NEW LIFE COMET

If your circle or the personal “reserve” still have one or, even better, several copies of the old glow motors “Comet-5”, in no case do not throw them away at the next disassembly, do not attempt to use them to create air compressors. The fact that the “Comet” at the end of serial production of which became completely unworkable, it turns out, can be completely transformed into a powerful and reliable motor. Just need to figure out which side is the right approach n the issue. So, if you need an easy, good and sufficient resource engine working volume of 5 cm 3, use the following recommendations. Do note that the proposed alteration is designed for minimum security modelers, and therefore, from mechanical processing requires only simple turning.
